Alabama angler's monstrous striped bass is one for the record books

By: Pete Thomas, GrindTV.com

An Alabama resident has reeled in a 70-pound striped bass that shattered a 34-year-old state record and could land the angler in the book of world records for the heaviest striper ever caught in a landlocked fishery.

James R. Bramlett, 65, reeled in the behemoth on the Black Warrior River on Feb. 28.

The catch, weighed on a certified scale, exceeds the previous record, set in 1959, by 15 pounds.


The striper measured 45.5 inches long and boasted a girth of 37.75.

According to the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, they have already approved the catch as a state record. If approved by the International Game Fish Association it'll become a new world record.

The current IGFA record for landlocked stripers is a 67-pound, 8-ounce specimen landed in 1992 in Los Banos, California.

Bramlett said he saw the huge fish roll on the surface, so he tossed a bait and soon hooked up. The battle lasted 20 minutes.....
